The Book of Psalms had a profound impact on English literature from the Anglo-Saxon to the late medieval period. This collection examines the various ways in which they shaped medieval English thought and contributed to the emergence of an English literary canon. It features contributions from faculty members Annie Sutherland, Elizabeth Solopova, Vincent Gillespie, Katherine Zieman and Francis Leneghan.
